He was obliged to feel the hate of all mankind She was obliged to love him But only ended up destroying his whole world He felt the shame and wrote a long endearing letter She felt obliged to burn it But only ended up now falling back in love
Beneath the cemetery trees (Let the empire fall) She felt her arms begin to bleed (Let the empire fall) Her fate shared with the falling leaves (Let the empire fall) She can feel, she can feel the ceremony (She can feel, she can feel the ceremony) This is her ceremony
She was ashamed and felt betrayed by his salvation He held the razor blades and loved beyond devotion But only killing time is falling back in love
Beneath the cemetery trees (Let the empire fall) She felt her arms begin to bleed (Let the empire fall) Her fate shared with the falling leaves (Let the empire fall) She can feel, she can feel the ceremony (She can feel, she can feel the ceremony) This is her ceremony (Let the empire fall) This is her ceremony (Let the empire fall)
He held her close, dying in his arms She whispered her goodbye Let the empire fall tonight
Beneath the cemetery trees (Let the empire fall) She felt her arms begin to bleed (Let the empire fall) Her fate shared with the falling leaves (Let the empire fall) She can feel, she can feel the ceremony (She can feel, she can feel the ceremony)
